Sorry to hear that. Good luck with it... either way.

I am now back on the SK4G after having the HTC One for 2 weeks.

I've been trying to help a guy on the General forum who's using this ROM, and every time he updates Google Drive, it breaks. After an update, he gets this error message:

"Google Documents Error. Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."

He restored Google Drive with Titanium Backup and it worked fine again.

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this problem or how he can troubleshoot it? He can't post in the Developer forum yet.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
It makes a great Wifi mouse+keyboard for my HTPC / CarPC. Too bad that's about it.

It is sad that this phone never got past Froyo, as I still miss it so much. My HTC One with SwiftKey is nice, but no matter how good I get at using the software keyboard, I just don't feel like typing at the same length as I do with a hardware keyboard (meaning I'm more likely to go use a PC to respond to a long email, when I had no problem typing that out on the SideKick 4G... rip).

Some day they will bring back the flagship slider... oh who am I kidding, no they won't. :(

It's sad, really. When it comes to web browsing, watching videos, or other similar things, my Nexus 4 is wonderful. But, when it comes to getting things done like typing a long email, putting together a grocery list, editing documents and spreadsheets on the go, the keyboard on the Sidekick is such a help.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I hear you, but part of that is due to there not being a good enough handset with a physical keyboard to buy. I remember people complaining on other sites about there not being any flagship QWERTY phones being released to replace their existing ones and they decided to move onto a all-touchscreen device. I personally deal with not having the QWERTY on my Nexus 4...I like the phone a lot...but, there's that side of me that wants to do something productive with my cellphone besides consuming content. Like I said, it's a sad situation.

The MAJORITY want what Apple/Samsung tell them they want. My Dad recently moved from a Droid 2 to a DroidDNA, and misses the keyboard. My mom from a Samsung Epic 4G to a Nexus 4, and misses the keyboard. My step mom is on a Droid 4 because she refused to give up the keyboard. The MAJORITY of people that have owned a decent slider understand its superiority, but there is not a modern version to buy! ...which is probably because the manufacturers make less on them and have more warranty claims (?). It has nothing to do with what the MAJORITY wants.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
It probably just has to do with the fact that people want slimmer phones and phones with keyboards can't offer that

Hello, I'm using pacman a really old version and before that I was using galaxy mod and when I tried to flash pacman and tried to restore my apps through titanium and I had no back ups at all and checked my files and my files were all gone everything I had, pics, music, important documents, backups etc they were all gone and I didn't do anything to erase the whole memory and I went trough recovery thinking it was an error and looked inside the internal storage and it gave the few list of folders.

All of then we're empty but none had any files bt at the very top it says /0 and somehow I selected that one and it showed all the files that were missing.. Documents pics etc... So I thought it was fixed.

I rebooted the phone nd went to storage nd the storage was clean and checked my files nd the files were still gone.. I used cyandelta app to update the rim and the /0 appeared so I clicked on it and it showed the whole files again.. So can anyone tell me what the hell happened??

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Introducing the Holo Hacker Challenge!

What is this challenge you may say?

Well it is the chance to give something back to your favorite apps!

Here is how it works... The idea is that while some new apps maybe starting to adapt the Holo UI a lot haven't and some have but still use Gingerbread as the Target version.

Your goal is to find a developer that is willing to give you their code for a week or more to upgrade it to the latest stuff.

For an app to qualify, it has to keep some custom item in the new Holo theme carried over from the old interface. An example would be if they had a Red color scheme, use some red throughout the new Holo interface... Don't just make it stock Holo. Also all Gingerbread icons must be upgraded to ICS/JB Icons.

Also there is another way you can do this... If you want to surprise a dev with a new UI, extract the source from the apk, build the new UI, then confirm with them if they want it and if they do they can merge it with their code.

This is meant to be a fun project that anybody can do (but it might be complicated if you don't know how to code, like myself.)

And their is currently no prizes but the prize is basically being apart of the app if the developer makes your version the new one!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Getting Source from an APK

Automatic Way (Step 1-3 only first time!):

Step 1. Download VTS (www.virtuous-ten-studio.com)

Step 2. Open it and click the blue File button, then Open Settings

Step 3. Follow this instruction from the VTS website for adding a framework-res.apk file (Get from a 4.2.2 rom)

Step 4. Click the Blue button again and click New Solution, then import.

Step 5. Select your apk file

Step 6. Finish in the boxes and it will get your source for you!

The manual way (copied from http://www.souldevteam.net/blog/2012/01/27/how-to-retrieve-source-code-from-an-android-apk-file/)

Step 1. Rename the .apk file you wish to retrieve and change the extension to .zip. Then extract the file that it creates.

Step 2. Copy the contents of the dex2jar folder to the extracted folder to make it easier for yourself, and run:

and copy the resulting “classes.dex.dex2jar.jar” into a new folder.

Step 3. Open up the Java Decompiler and drag “classes.dex.dex2jar.jar” into the window and then go to File > Save and save the source in a .zip file.

Step 4. Extract the saved .zip and copy the contents to a new folder somewhere. This will be where we keep your source code.

Step 5. Now, copy “framework-res.apk” and “yourapk.apk” to the APKTool folder. Then open a command prompt or Terminal window and type:

Step 6. Now just copy the contents of the resulting folder to the same place you copied the contents of “classes.dex.dex2jar.jar” earlier and voila, you have your source code.

I will not bore you with instructions as we have several threads already explaining how to do this.

In short you need the following:

SDK

ROOT

S-OFF

ENG HBoot

Understand the above

1. Download one of the .img files attached below

2. Move .img file to your work directory. (Same location you would put any file you flash from fastboot)

3. Have phone connected and phone booted in to your android operating system with USB Debugging on in your system settings

4. Hold shift and right click a blank space inside the folder from step 2, click on "Open command window here" then type the following codes 1 by 1.

adb reboot bootloader

(If you have already booted your phone in to fastboot then skip this step)

fastboot flash splash1 image.img

(Change the word "image" to whatever the actual file is named, be sure to remember .img at the end)

fastboot reboot

Not able to use a bluetooth keyboard with the Nook HD running CM10.1 from SD card. Have tried 3 different keyboards: Motorola 89451N, Amazon Basics for Android, Motorola 89507N, both with and without auxiliary apps that are meant to facilitate connection.

All of the above mentioned keyboards will pair with the device, but none will connect. Researching the issue led me to try several third party apps that are meant to facilitate keyboard connectivity and use: Blueinput, Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect, BlueKeyboard JP.

Tried with all 9 permutations of 3 keyboards and 3 apps and none worked. Keyboard would pair, but would not connect, in all cases.

Further research led me to a large number of reports of general bluetooth problems in android 4.2.1, with some reports that android 4.2.2 fixed some, though not all, of the bluetooth issues.

Note that bluetooth does work to use a phone headset (SoundID SM100) with Groove IP on the Nook HD, and the results are quite good.

Would appreciate any insight or suggestions about getting a bluetooth keyboard to work.

Interestingly (and accurately!), when paired and timed out, the bluetooth icon is not alit, but upon typing, it does light up.

Sadly, my Sony Xperia TL (running 4.1.2 on kernel 3.4.0) works perfectly well without any additional software: stock Sony, unrooted. It even has the expected "Physical Keyboard" option in Language settings.
